Chapter 346 They've Kidnapped the Wrong Person Kelly didn't want to go. Her original plan was to stay inside all night and wait for the news of Oliver's death and Rose's scandal the next day. But Miles and Gabriel were anomalies in her plan, so she had to adapt it.
She followed Gabriel. As night had fallen, he turned on the flashlight. But as soon as they were alone, she pretended to sprain her foot.
"Ah!" Her face cringed in pain. "My foot! Gabriel, I..." She seemed to be in great pain and looked like she was about to cry.
There was a hint of impatience in his eyes. When he saw Kelly's acting, he thought about poking fun at her and mocking her. But after sthought, he decided against it. "Then turn around. It's dangerous here." He sounded a little cold.
Hearing his words, she becmore aggrieved. "No! How can I go back? Grandpa and Rose are missing. What if something happens to them? We have to find them quickly." She pretended to be strong and stood up forcefully. But as she did so, she let out another cry of pain. She pretended to show concern for the safety of Oliver and Rose, but she didn't realize that Gabriel sensed something amiss in her words.
He glared at her for a moment before taking hold of her. He decided to play along with her "injury" for a while. When Kelly saw him reaching out to her, she happily grabbed his hand and leaned into him. Sure enough, she fell into his arms.

"It doesn't matter. I'll carry you." Gabriel suddenly had a change of attitude. At first, Kelly was confused, but then she saw him squat down and show her his broad back.
His gentle manner wiped off her doubts, so she got onto his back. She deliberately pressed herself against him. Even now, she was trying to seduce him.
"If something happens to Grandpa, the Youngs are done for." His tone was more solemn than ever.
She understood his worries. The Youngs' industrial dominance was second only to Regalia's Finches. Although Oliver had been doing nothing for many years and had left everything to his adopted daughter and granddaughter, the properties were still in his name.
Without a will, the Youngs would experience a fierce power struggle. Regardless of who won, it would be a heavy blow to the Youngs.
But what they didn't know was that he had a secret will. As soon as he died, his lawyer would reveal it. She wouldn't even have to mention it.
According to the will, the Youngs' empire would be all hers. Even Miles and Anastasia would have to obey her. "Nothing will happen to Grandpa. Nothing will happen to him ..." Kelly pretended to be afraid that something would happen to Oliver. She spoke worriedly and allowed her tears to fall.
But Gabriel looked indifferent. He simply carried her and continued searching for them silently.
It was pitch black inside the dilapidated church. In the darkness, several men were arguing about something. Theo had called them here and said that the target was a beautiful woman. He also promised that they could do whatever they wanted to her.
He had met Rose and claimed that she was prettier than the stars. As she was a real beauty, they all were interested in her.
"Letbe the first! You're all married, and I'm single. So I'm the best candidate!" one of them said excitedly. None of them were good people since they were willing to kidnap others for ransom.
On hearing his words, another immediately shouted, "You're not! I can also be the first! I'm more suitable!" too!" "I'm suitable too!" After sbickering, one of them finally interrupted the rest and said, "We can just take turns." A moment of silence followed.
Anastasia woke up to darkness and those words, followed by silence and the sound of insects. Where was she? A black cloth bag covered her head. She wanted to speak, but she realized that there was a layer of tape over her mouth, completely sealing her lips. She whimpered and struggled, only to find that her hands and feet were tied up. She felt terrified.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe remembered that she had gone to Rose's room earlier. She had planned to reveal that Mrs. Finch Senior was interested in matching her and Jonathan. She wanted Rose to retreat and to disappear into his world obediently. She wanted Rose to stop pestering him.
But she didn't find Rose in the room. As she wanted to tell Rose that she would snatch Jonathan away, she entered the room despite receiving no response after knocking. Then, she drank the water prepared for Rose and immediately felt dizzy.
She couldn't remember anything after that. But she knew that she wasn't in the room where she fainted. What happened? What was going on? What were those noises outside?
Anastasia had no tto figure it out.
But the people outside seemed to have stopped their discussion after ΠΙ reaching a consensus. Then, she' heard the sound of footsteps. Someone was approaching her. She was paralyzed by fear. Although she didn't know what was going to happen, she knew it was going to be terrible.
Regardless of what they wanted, she was confident that she could buy her freedom from them somehow. But right now, all she could do was m whimper lo a man's eyes, that was nothing more than resistance. Suddenly, a man cin and removed the black cloth bag that covered her head. She couldn't see his face clearly, but she could tell that the person in front of her was an evil man.
She kept whimpering and pleading with him. He grabbed her ankle. She felt sick when he touched her. The man couldn't wait to sleep with her, but his companion's voice suddenly cfrom outside. "Remember to take photos. Patron said we can only get the final payment with clear photos." He chuckled, almost forgetting their purpose. The surroundings were so dark that he couldn't see her face. So, he took out his phone and turned on the flashlight. When the light shone on Anastasia's face, there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
X Theo said that Rose was more beautiful than the stars. Although Anastasia was good-looking, she wasn't prettier than the stars. But he didn't pay much attention to that. Although she wasn't super beautiful, she had a good temperament. It wasn't much of a loss.
Under the light, she turned pale with fright at the man's obvious intentions. But what frightened her the most was what she just heard. Patron? Had someone asked them to kidnap her? Who was it?
